Volunteer Now

The Big Help Out is a UK-wide campaign designed to raise awareness of volunteering, provide opportunities for people to volunteer and make a difference in their communities. In 2024 it will take place across the weekend of 7-9 June, at the end of Volunteers’ Week. Millions volunteered during the pandemic but we’ve seen a significant decline in numbers since. The Big Help Out combines a high-profile national media campaign with a simple, digital route for people to find great opportunities to get involved. In 2023, over 7m people were inspired to take part. Join us for this free webinar which will focus on: sharing the latest campaign information, it’s key objectives and how you can use it to support your own volunteer recruitment efforts; the focus on targeting communities currently under-represented in volunteering – and how this could support to your own objectives around increasing diversity in your volunteering programme; how to use the digital platform, piggyback on the national media campaign and make the most of the alignment between The Big Help Out and Volunteers’ Week. Click here for instructions on how to create a Training Account. You can also view the Training FAQ’s here. Joining instructions will be sent out the day before the training. Cancellation Policy
